The federal government has given the green light to a proposal to
build 234 miles of pipeline to transport natural gas liquids from one
corner of New Mexico to the other and ultimately to markets in South
Texas.
The Bureau of Land Management's approval of the Western
Expansion Pipeline III project comes just a week after President Barack
Obama unveiled his plan for combating climate change, part of which
included boosting the role of natural gas in energy production.
News of the pipeline's approval encouraged oil and gas
developers in New Mexico, which is home to portions of both the Permian
and San Juan basins.
